He successsfully got ByteDance to use US cloud providers to run their service. Specifically cloud providers whose CEOs donated to his campaign. It was smokescreen, and apparently people believed it.

To rip off investors. If they pretend to be on the same hype train as everyone else, and lie about what their product does, there’s a chance some idiot will give them more money.
I told you how to find them so you wouldn’t have to bitch about my cherry picking. I can’t help if you’d rather bury your head in the sand, and it makes no difference to me what you believe.
It’s the Pravda of the VC-centric tech scene and has been for a very very long time.
At least someone else gets it.
I’d suggest they’re just as wrong about programming languages and maths as any other topic.
You can google for cloudflare issues ranging from providing hosting for actual nazi sites to extorting customers by threatening the exact scenario se saw in this blog post. Feel free to google “cloudflare account suspended” to see many posts about people having not just DDoS mitigation disabled, but everything related to an account deleted and disabled. Many of those people had the audacity to, get this, rely on DDoS protection! The nerve, right?
Not just “this case”, there’s been countless cases like this with CF.
Pro tip: Don’t waste your time over there.
Not a huge surprise, they’ve got a long history of doing all kinds of scumbag shit. Nobody should be surprised when the leopard eats their face.
Tesla isn’t valued like a car company.
The market being stupid doesn’t change the fact that they are a manufacturing company. The fact that they can convince people to repeat this nonsense is how they keep the market stupid. Keeping the market stupid is how they continue pumping cash to stay afloat.
iPhone actually works. Also, which generation iPhone weighs two tons?
The difference is that “tech” companies can produce more of their software with minimal or no additional cost. This is why their values tend to be higher than traditional companies manufacturing things. Tesla can’t do that. Their revenue is their shitty cars, without them there’s nothing to run their shitty non-working software on.
Except that the manufacture shitty products. Manufacturing something makes them not operate like a tech company, which is why Elon is desperate for people to repeat that they’re a tech company. You’re doing his work for him.
Tesla isn’t a tech company.
They identify people in public that should probably be robbed. So they’re useful for that I suppose.
All scams come to an end when they run out of marks to steal from.
Can we stop the generational blame game?
No. You seem to think I’m a young person. I’m not. Don’t need to lecture me about things I see at town hall meetings.
Not all of this is down to progress. Look at the cost of that college education. Look at the cost of a house. Manufacturing has also made vehicle production massively more efficient.

Anyway good luck being a large economy with no trade partners and ports blockaded.
Huge surprise, yeah. It’s funny how a little campaign contribution can go such a long way.
